The Jets are just a mess on offense. They are so poorly coached. Zach Wilson is t that great, but he gets absolutely no help. Every time he makes a good throw, or a big play there is a penalty that negates it. 

Their whole plan was Aaron Rodgers.

The Lions were aggressive on fourth down from the jump, converting on two attempts in the first quarter. They kept that mindset throughout the game, culminating in a final fourth-down conversion that helped put the game away. Facing fourth-and-2 from the Chargers’ 26-yard line with less than two minutes remaining. Dan Campbell could have chosen to have his team kick a field goal from that spot, a feasible distance, and bet on his defense to hold the Bolts for the final 100 seconds. Instead, he put it all on the line, trusting QB Jared Goff to convert. Goff found tight end Sam LaPorta for a six-yard gain and the first down, and the Lions subsequently ran down the clock before kicking for the win, closing it out without allowing the Chargers another possession. The Lions finished the game 4 of 5 on fourth-down attempts, an aggressive approach that paid off.

Rough fourth quarter sinks Jordan Love, Packers. 

Love threw two pretty first-half touchdown passes and looked to be getting into something of a groove early against the Steelers. The Packers eliminated a 10-point deficit to take a 19-17 lead after a pair of field-goal drives in the third quarter, but they would come up empty on their final four possessions in the fourth quarter. A three-and-out was followed by another punt, yet Love got them back into the red zone twice in the final four minutes, needing a touchdown both times. Both drives ended in Love interceptions.

On the first, Love never should have attempted the pass to Christian Watson in the end zone, with tight coverage and safety help in tight quarters. Love’s second INT -- on the final play of the game -- never had a chance, with Watson again the intended target. Love’s deep-ball prowess was on display early, but his fourth-quarter collapse is a tough one to swallow given his turnover troubles this season.

Brian Dabol maybe in danger of losing his locker room.  A frustrated Saquon Barkley was seen barking at his head coach on the side line.  The receivers are showing their frustration about the ineffectiveness of the QB play.  Do the Giants make an in season change by firing last year's Coach of the Year?

I don't think Daboll really can be blamed for the situation he was put in.  Barkley should really blame Dave Gettleman and Ed Donatell.

This is probably petty and won't matter in a few weeks, but after all of the "fraud" talk about the Vikings last year, don't Tomlin and the Steelers deserve that talk? All we're hearing is "the Steelers have been out-gained in every game this year, Tomlin is a great coach". Tomlin probably deserves the benefit of the doubt for his track record, but that offense is garbage, especially Pickett, and they look worse than the Vikings did last year in most games. Just flip the offense and defense discussions.

I've always accepted that some franchises will get the benefit of the doubt more than others...Pittsburgh has their pedigree so they are going to get a longer leash when it comes to perception than the Vikings do (and probably always will).  The Steelers have been a less talented team than the Vikings have been probably for 5 years (definitely at least 3), but Tomlin has managed to somehow keep them afloat without having a losing season his entire HC career.

I get it. I'm hoping that KO is starting to build that legacy here. He feels like a different kind of coach.

Agreed.  We've certainly had significant experience in coaches who are football-smart and coaches who can relate to players, but never both at the same time...probably not since at least Denny, but an argument could be made that not since Bud.
